Loan description:
Kassignè has been a taxi driver transporting luggage since 2008. A married father with two children aged 10 and 15, he lives in Avédji in Lomé with his small family. His wife is a retailer. Today Kassignè is 34 years old. Before launching his own business, he had a number of small individual jobs as a taxi driver after he learnt to drive. Thanks to his business, he has been able to take care of those dependent on him and to put his children through school. However, for some time now he has been experiencing frequent problems with the engine of his vehicle. In order to tackle this problem, he is requesting his first loan for 600,000 West African francs so that he can replace his current engine, which is now old and in a poor state. He is confident that he will be able to repay the loan within a maximum period of twelve months. Kassignè aspires to acquiring large international lorries in the future; this would enable him to consistently and completely provide for the needs of his family.
Original loan request in French:
Kassignè est conducteur de taxi-bagage depuis 2008. Marié et père de deux enfants âgés respectivement de quinze et dix ans, il est domicilié à Avédji, à Lomé, avec sa petite famille. Sa femme est revendeuse. Kassignè a 34 aujourd’hui.
Avant de se lancer dans cette activité, il faisait de petits boulots comme aide aux conducteurs de taxi-bagage. C’est là d’ailleurs qu’il a appris la conduite. Il arrive grâce à cette activité à assurer ses charges familiales et à scolariser ses deux enfants.
Depuis quelques temps il remarque des ratés fréquents au niveau de son moteur ce qui perturbe son activité. Pour pallier ces problèmes techniques auxquels est confronté son engin , il voudrait pour la toute première fois bénéficier d’un prêt d’une valeur de 600 000FCFA qui lui permettra d’acquérir un nouveau moteur de marque Renault en remplacement à celui existant, devenu trop vieux et en mauvais état .Il est confiant pour rembourser à une échéance de douze mois maximum.
Kassignè projette avoir de gros camions de transports internationaux à l’ avenir et pouvoir assurer pleinement, parfaitement et constamment les besoins de sa famille
